Long Way Round: Bigfoot

The following post is one of many that documents the adventures of a family of bears as they turn a 10 hour road trip into a week long adventure while on their way to GeoWoodstock XII in St. Charles Missouri. If you are not up to speed, check out the introduction here.

Monster trucks! Bigfoot!

On the sunday after GeoWoodstock it rained. It rained a lot. Go to the Ark sort of rain. As a result we decided to drive around and see what we could see.

Turns out, when you are in St. Louis, you can see a bigfoot. Specifically, the monster truck. The Bigfoot team has a location here (it was closed so I don't know if its there headquarters or not). Outside of their location they have one of their many trucks on display, as well as this funky tracked vehicle:

Zeke loves monster trucks, and he has several of them, so there may have been squeals when he saw the truck.

This is a simple road side attraction, so there isn't much more to say, except this: I cannot claim to have seen a Sasquatch, but at the next tea party I attend I am going to be able to tell everyone with a straight face that I have seen a bigfoot - and isn't that reason enough to visit here?
